The motive to create this book and compile work that seamlessly combines visual and spatial experiences is the fact that every day more and more of our time (business and leisure), is spent on the internet in a digitalized, global world.  As a result, what is left of our precious time should be spent in a setting which meets the requirements for that given moment.  More pressure is set upon to create a proper setting; the space where we come into face-to-face contact with our target audience has to be arranged is such a manner in order to make an impact. The space has to be arranged as if it were a theatrical setting in order to effectively communicate information on an emotional level.  That is the reason that so many different creatives currently work on developing designs in physical space.

Staging Space is a compilation of inspiring international work of new aesthetic application, information technology and sales pitches.  The work transverses borders among creative disciplines and defies convention, giving the reader the opportunity to understand and evaluate “the added value of a well thought-out presentation in physical space.”   
 
Staging Space is a vital book for anyone working as a designer, interior decorator and set designer, but also for those in the advertising and marketing industry.
